Chapter 217 - Xiao Feng

Sound of running water filled Ah Chun's ear. Ah Chun reached up to rub her eyes. The normal feeling of softness was there…"Softness!?" Ah Chun's eyes shot open. All she could see was black fluffiness. Ah Chun reached up and pulled the thing on her face off. She looked at it somewhat perplexed. It was round, black, soft, and furry. "What the hell is this thing!?" Ah Chun went to get up but a sharp pain could be felt on the front of her head. She touched her forehead to find a big lump. The images of what had happened before being knocked out flashed through her mind as she remembered how the thing in her hand had slammed into her head knocking her out. 

Ah Chun's face turned black as she started to shake the black furry thing in her hand violently "Because of you, days of making it up the river was wasted! Do even know how hard it was to put up with the frigid water!?" 

The furry thing in Ah Chun's had suddenly opened its eyes to find the world around it shaking back and forth. It yelled out in anger: "Who dares to shake this Queen!?"

Ah Chun stopped shaking it as she was stumped by the fact that the little furball could talk. But this lasted only a second before she started shaking it again! "Queen my ass give me back my days of walking through cold water to get out of this damn place!"

The shaking continued to grow more violent. The black furry thing in Ah Chun's hands, eyes started to bounce all over as it felt it's stomach starting to turn. "Wait! Please stop! This is to much! I'm going to be sick!"

Ah Chun stopped shaking the black furry ball and asked: "Oh? I thought you were a queen? Would it not be unbecoming of a queen to get sick with this little shaking?"

"Who said I was a queen I never said that! "' Like hell, will I call myself a queen again. This damn lizard girl is scary! ' 

"So what are you? You came flying at me when that demonic beast or whatever it was stepped into the water creating a huge wave." Ah Chun could not tell what exactly this black furry ball was.

"...."

"Not going to tell me should I shake you again?" Ah Chun gave the black furry ball an evil grin.

Panicked the black furry ball yelled out "I'll tell! Please don't shake me anymore! My stomach can't handle it!" 

Ah Chun smiled and asked once more: "Then what are you?"

"I am a fire phoenix from the Phoenix clan. That large demonic beast you were talking about that created the huge wave was from the Ancient Dragon clan. My Phoenix clan and the Ancient Dragon clan have been fighting each other for tens of thousands of years. Normally we do not try to involve others in our dispute. That was why we were fighting so high up on the mountain." The black furry ball looked very apologetic. It did not mean to get Ah Chun caught up in their dispute. 

"So I was just unlucky then… Well, this must be fate then. It seemed the Heavens wanted me to meet you. But I have to ask, why are you so small? Were you not the big fiery bird I saw before?" Ah Chun spun the black furry ball in a circle checking it out.

"Quit spinning me! Are you trying to make me lose my stomach? I am indeed that, as you just said, "big fiery bird". The ancient dragon I was fighting was a lot more powerful than I. I had no choice but to revert to this form to escape. This was my last resort in order to survive. By sacrificing my cultivation I was able to revert to this form. It's what we look like after hatching... " The black furry ball felt embarrassed. It had lost the fight so miserably and was forced into such a state. 

"I see. Well Looks like fate has brought us together. So I will form a contract with you and we can travel together." Ah Chun said matter of factly.

"Who said I would form a contract with you!?" 

"Not going to? Then…" Ah Chun started to shake it violently again.

"Urk! Okay! You win! I will sign! I will sign! Stop shaking me!" The black furry ball screamed out.

"Un! Good." Ah Chun smiled and bit the tip of her finger. She then dripped a drop of blood onto the space between the black furry ball's forehead.  The black furry ball also bit its small furry wing and did the same. A white circular symbol appeared on the ground as ribbons of archaic lettering wrapped around the two. Before sinking into Ah Chun's and the black furry ball's body. The archaic lettering moved along the surface of their skin as it made its way to the space between their brows before disappearing altogether. After which a small white light came out of both Ah Chun and the black furry ball. The one from Ah Chun entered the black furry ball while the one from the black furry ball entered Ah Chun. After the white light entered their bodies the white circular symbol on the ground dimmed until it fully disappeared signaling the completion of the contract.  "Mmm! From now on you will be called Xiao Feng!" 

"..."

' Can't this little lizard girl come up with a better name!? ' Although Xiao Feng was burning with anger on the inside  she did not dare to say anything out loud. For fear of being shaken to the point of losing her stomach...
